Pros

Great middle management, ok culture, good training, great backlog of work.

Cons

The organizational structure and back office tools are oddly ineffective at facilitating communication with colleagues. It's a bit of a wild ride here, as the leader of the team tends to navigate unpredictably through challenges. Although kind and well-meaning, they can be somewhat erratic. The middle and senior management team is excellent—highly skilled and a pleasure to work with on a daily basis. However, the pressure to make sales is compounded by the fact that your biggest competition in the region is also your employer. It's challenging because the expectation to sell and access the necessary resources to meet operational commitments contradicts the reality of dealing with "house accounts" that can complicate the sales process. It's not the ideal situation for a sales role.

Pros

There is usually the opportunity to work overtime. Usually between 10-28 additional hours a week. The work pace is pretty steady. They provide water bottles for you during one of the 2 daily 20-40min water breaks. In the lunch tent, they have microwaves (no fridge). There are hand washing stations near the port-a-potties with soap (no real restrooms at any construction site). They give out E2 branded shirts, sweaters, and random company swag every couple of months. You could go from $23 to $28 an hour once you hit a year at this company, depending on how you approach the yearly review and how you showcase your skills.

Cons

My biggest issue is the amount of nepotism that exists, there are family members that are in powerful positions that allow entry level family more leeway and faster promotions. Someone that started 2 months ago could already be given the title of lead(usually takes a year) because they are related to the Project Manager, Superintendent, Field Supervisor, or other leads. The next issue is that the weekly schedule can be hectic. You're at live construction sites. You don't get to pick your hours so if it's a 60-hour work week, you have to stick to it or you could get written up for abandoning your shift. Start time is usually 5 am, Mon-Fri, and the drive to El Mirage/East Mesa can get long if you live in the city. Don't be fooled by the title of data center technician at this company though, a lot of it is construction (structured cabling) for the inside of data centers, you're not really assigning IP addresses, deploying to a network, etc. You're running copper and fiber cables and then connecting those cables. Benefits suck, they offer health insurance through Cigna, and American Trust Retirement for your 401(K) plan.
